Ok, brief overview - 87 FC3S4 N/A coupe. bought cheap but have a massive smoke issue (narrowed it down somewhat, oil consumption VERY high, smoke is less on cold start and starts billowing massively once warmed up) runs sorta ok with good compression
The plan/goals are:
1) rebuild the N/A motor
2) do SOME kind of PnP for increased power from the 6-port (need LOTS of advice here
)
3) add a mild turbo and MS-II v3.0 for some more power, probably around 250-275 hp
I DEFINITELY need some advice on what kind of porting template i should be looking at for this motor. I still haven't figured out what the different porting names mean (aka bridgeport, street port etc) and have NO idea what affect they have on RPM, power and driveability. I really want to do a PnP to the motor during the rebuild as it is an ideal time to do so. Also I'd like to retain the 6-port configuration even when i add the turbo.
Secondly, I am not sure what sort of turbo I'd need to attain my goals on the N/A ported motor. I can easily source a small mitsubishi TE04H or Garret T03 turbo from the Turbo Dodge community I am already in if either of these will work
I will have more questions as i review Atkin's rebuild DVD and so on
